Shhh! Don't tell anybody!

*wink*

But seriously, I don't think Geremy is suggesting security by obscurity. 
It seems to me that he's merely suggesting that we are discreet about 
discussing vulnerabilities unless we have a plan to fix them.

Whether such discretion is useful is an open question. It may be that 
the cat is already out of the bag and it's too late to be discreet, so 
we might as well not bother.
